EISH CULTURE.

The Fish Commission reports some in
teresting facts in regard to fish culture
The legislature should consider the ques-
tiOn gravely, in the light of the capacity
for fish culture in Virginia waters. In
colonial days the rivers were full of fish,
herring, and shad every spring as far up
as Balcony Falls, Charlottesville, Rapi-
dan Station, and Harper's Ferry.
1t only needs proper care to restore this
bountiful provision of nature, which is
enough to provide the whole population
with food. As to the vast capacity for
raising oysters in the Chesapeake bay
and its salt water tributaries the Com
mission says:
1. Private enterprise will not do the
necessary experimental work to point
the way to success.
2. The oyster industry is now the most
important interest of Tidewater Virginia.
Its production can be increased tenfold
when the way is made plain to the utiliza-
ton of the mud flats and salt marshes for
the purpose Of oyster production.

If any politician wishes to make CAPT

that the National Government pay the

a clear plea based on the immemorial

discovered by an act of war, and the
power doing it is clearly bound to as
sumo the debt of that State
If the State of Virginia could move in
this direction it would facilitate the set
Element of her own debt, as the West

THE OLD MILL.

Messrs HOar and Evarts have been try
ing to work up some material out of a
Texas homicide alleged to have been com
mitted in the interest of Democratic
politics The patent adjustable outrage,
however, has long since ceased to gyrate
with success, and the men who pull the
string or turn the crank must have no
appreciation whatever of the ridiculous.
There is widowed and musty flavor
to the stories of Southern political muir
ders, and the Republican party is hard up
for campaign matter when it goes into
the junk shop to find and renovate its
old wares, out of use from having been
worn out.
Mr. Evarts has distinguished himself
by wise policy of stolid silence on the
principal topics of Importance that have
been discussed in the Senate but now he
tries to light the old fuse again to " fire
the Northern heart"
We fancy that the Northern heart has
been fired several times too often for
nothing, and this time there will not be a
spark of sectional hate evolved.
The truth is that the whole people of
The United States feel that the time has
come to achieve the great victory of
peace and establish the reunited country
before the generation that fought the war
has passed away.

negro gentleman, on the ground that it
would be pleasanter both for him and for

We feel like apologizing to the public
for referring again to the proceedings
that have been instituted against Mr.
Royal for suing the grand jury but we
meet so many persons absolutely igno-
rant in respect to the matter that we feel
constrained to take it up again.
In the first volume of his commenta-
ries Blackstone says, page al;
"a subordinate right of every English
man is that of applying to the courts OF
Justice for redress of injuries. Since the
law is in England the supreme arbiter
of every mans life, liberty, and prop
erty. courts of justice must at all
times be open to the subject, and
the law be duly administered
therein. The emphatical words of magma
cAarta spoken in the person of the King,
who, in judgment of law (says, Sir Ed
ward Coke, is ever present and repeating
them in all his cour,s, are these; NuAi
cendemus null nega5tmus, ant diferemus
rectUm Cel justitiam, and therefore every
subject continues the same learned auth
or, for injury done to him in bonis, in ferris,
eel persona, by any other subject, be he &C.
clesiastical or temporal, without anyexcep-
ton, may take his remedy by the course
of the law, and have justice and right for
the injury done to him, freely without
sale, fully without any denial, and sped
lily without delay"
Since the English-speaking people have
had civilization, this has been cherished
by them as their cardinal and most valued
right-to go to the law for redress when
ever any one believed himself to be ag-
grieved.
So that whether Mr.. Royal can main
tain his suit or whether he cannot, it is
his inalenable right to go to the tribunals
OF the country and demand justice
whenever he believes himself to be az
grieved, whether those offending against
him be grand jurors or private citizens
only.
1t would be pretty state of affairs In
a country governed by law, if any man
could claim that his privileges were in
vaded by one who believed himself ag-
grieved, citing him before the tribunals
Of justice that the law might inquire
whether an injury had been done or not.
The grand juror has only to appear in
.he court to which he is cited, and plead
hat what he has done he did in his ca
oacity of grand juror, and, if he can
make his plea good, judgment will be
5iyen in his favor But if he cannot
make his plea good-if Mr. Royal can
how that he was indicted under an un-
law, then, the fact that he
'retendedto act as grand juror will afford
lim no protection, and ne will have to
nswer for the wrong that he has done.
